2017 Barolo, Brunate, Marcarini, Piedmont, Italy

Description

This wine is officially entitled to Riserva status due to its extended ageing in bottle, but it’s not labelled as such. It’s fabulously intense, compact and heady with the notes of a dry vintage: sage, white pepper, some mint, tobacco and liquorice. This isn’t a typical La Morra, but it’s from a great vineyard, with the svelte lines of the commune.

About this wine

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

Marcarini

Few views in Barolo can compete with the one from Marcarini’s terrace in La Morra. Encompassing most of the region’s communes and vineyards, one only has to look south-east to see Barolo’s modest size, cradled in the Italian Alps. It is fitting that Marcarini occupies this prime location; the winery is built underneath La Morra’s medieval watchtower, a signpost to the Marchetti family cantina that’s visible across the region.
